Important factors to consider
when selecting the best
Sugar Glider Treats * |

|
1. |
Veterinary Endorsements: |
Quality
treats should be thoroughly tested - and endorsed - by
several Veterinarians who specialize in Sugar Glider
care and research. Multiple endorsements are
preferable. |
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
Manufactured for Sugar Gliders ONLY: |
Despite
what any website may claim, Sugar Gliders have very
specific nutritional requirements, and all "treat" foods
should be scientifically-balanced just for Gliders.
Products designed for use with other animals - including
cats, dogs, birds and reptiles are not recommended for
Sugar Gliders. Treats should never exceed 10% of a
healthy Sugar Glider's dietary consumption. |
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Certified ORGANIC: |
The
SINGLE most important factor to consider when feeding a
Sugar Glider any treats is whether the product is
"certified organic". Today, most fruits and vegetables
contain numerous toxins and pesticides which are
practically impossible to completely remove. Due to
their small size, Sugar Gliders are extremely
susceptible to toxicity poisoning, so only treats which
are certified organic - or made for consumption by human
babies - are recommended. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
No Artificial Ingredients:
|
Because of a
Sugar Glider's small size, even tiny amounts of
artificial ingredients and preservatives (that are fine
for larger pets) can be fatal to Sugar Gliders.
Therefore, it's important that all foods, vitamins, and
treats be as free as possible from these harmful agents. |
|
|
|
|
|
5. |
Glider-Safe™ Certification: |
Many
products currently being marketed for Sugar Gliders are
actually products designed for other pets which have
been "re-labeled" for Sugar Gliders without objective
testing. Products which have received Glider-Safe™
certification have undergone extensive testing by animal
care professionals (including Veterinarians) - and have
been specifically approved for use by Sugar Gliders. |

Review: |
Contains only papaya and mango. Products are not
organic and are actually made for other pets by
Brisky Pet Products. Same items can be found for
less cost on many general pet websites |
Contains primarily yogurt drops with only 3
other ingredients: (raisins, papaya, and
banana). Products are not organic. Site states
mixed for Gliders, but product is no different
than many standard "trail mixes" found in
grocery stores. |
Only certified-organic treats for Sugar Gliders
on the market. Multiple Veterinary
Endorsements. Product contains organic yogurt
and a mix of 14 additional organic dehydrated
fruits. |
